Spherical elbow Spherical wear-resistant elbow

Spherical elbow, also known as spherical wear-resistant elbow, spherical ceramic wear-resistant elbow, lined ceramic spherical elbow, turning ball, is a widely used substitute for pipeline elbows in pneumatic conveying systems such as cement and raw materials. Its main advantages include simple production, easy installation, and good durability. The following is a detailed introduction to spherical elbows

application area 

Spherical elbows are widely used in various industrial fields, especially in pneumatic conveying systems, to achieve functions such as material diversion, merging, and reversing. Its application areas include but are not limited to industries such as power, metallurgy, chemical, and building materials.

Application in pneumatic conveying system

In pneumatic conveying systems, spherical elbows, due to their special shape and design, can effectively reduce material wear at bends and extend the service life of pipelines. The diameter of a spherical elbow is usually determined based on the actual situation of the pipeline system, and is generally selected within the range of 3 to 6 times the inner diameter of the pipeline.

Material selection

The material of spherical elbows is usually required to be carbon steel or seamless steel pipes, while the material of outlet powder pipe elbows and spherical elbows is required to be seamless steel pipes or steel balls. All spare parts are required to be lined with corundum ceramics to improve wear resistance and corrosion resistance.

Wear resistance performance

The design of the spherical elbow provides good wear resistance when transporting dusty gases. The particularity of its internal structure causes eddy currents to be generated when the medium passes through, thereby reducing direct erosion of the pipeline and lowering the degree of wear.

Application of Ceramic Lining

In order to further improve wear resistance, some spherical elbows adopt ceramic lining technology. This technology can effectively improve the wear resistance and corrosion resistance of elbows, extending their service life.

Price difference of wear-resistant elbows

The price of wear-resistant elbows varies due to factors such as material and specifications. Consumers should pay attention to comparing prices and quality from different manufacturers when purchasing, and choose products with high cost-effectiveness.

In summary, spherical elbows, as an important pipeline accessory, play a significant role in multiple industrial fields. Understanding the production process, installation methods, material selection, and maintenance of spherical elbows can help to better select and use them, improve production efficiency and service life.
